The Oprah Show will be leaving the networks in September, 2011, after 25 years.

But, we may be able to drown our sorrows with Oprah, the Miniseries. Producer Larry A. Thompson has purchased the rights to Kitty Kelley’s bio of the star and plans to produce either a TV movie, or miniseries to be aired the same month that The Oprah Show wraps, according to the movie news site, Deadline Hollywood.

Thompson says he is leaning towards tapping an unknown to play Oprah.

Guess that leaves Oprah herself out of the running.
